COMING SOON: PASSENGERS ORIGINAL SCORE

Three decades into a 120-year trip to colonise a new world, two of the starship Avalon's passengers emerge from cryosleep prematurely. With nearly a century to go and no way back, Jim (Chris Pratt) and Aurora (Jennifer Lawrence) are, for all intents and purposes, the last two people alive.

The film has been nominated for two Oscars at the 89th Academy Awards, including Best Original Score and Best Production Design.

Newman primarily used piano and electronic instrumentation for the 96-minute score, but occasionally expanded to a full orchestra, utilizing more than 60 string players and 13 brass musicians.

"The music isdesigned to give the impression of endless sleep and endless journey with a significant interruption that guides the story that follows. It's color and pulse followed by great size", Newman says.

The sounds are recognizable for the Gravity generation, as well as other like-minded space operas such as Interstellar and Arrival. It sets a dreamy mood right from the beginning and presents a unique style by the composer with a light and chiming theme 'The Starship Avalon' giving the impression of floating through space.

The film has been nominated for two Oscars at the 89th Academy Awards, including Best Original Score and Best Production Design. The score is produced by multiple Grammy and Golden Globe winner Thomas Newman (American Beauty, Shawshank Redemption, Finding Nemo, Spectre, Skyfall).
